Nesting NZ Dotterel

Postby FlyingKiwiGirl » Thu Dec 07, 2017 8:41 pm

How's this for getting in amongst it on one of the most popular, if not the most popular beach in New Zealand- Main Beach, Mt Maunganui. A nesting NZ Dotterel.

Looks well protected with that gear around it - chicks might struggle in the foot traffic
